    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Okay around town, don't bother trying to overtake caravans on A47 unless you have a big gap in oncoming traffic.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    No oomf when you want it. Okay from the lights, but I have given up being a girl racer with this one.

  • Living with it

    No problems as yet.

    Image

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Bright yellow, and looks sporty (looks can be deceiving!) so gets lots of looks. Pity it does't perform to its image.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Okay on short journeys. Anything over 50 miles, you will get out and have to unbend yourself .

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Standard immboliser, no alarm. Not sought after in thieving circles, though.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Any old garage will be good for service.
